got done for a bov awhile back, then it got defected again.

the defect i bought it on was for the height of the rear wheel arch being too low and something really minor I cant think of atm. Just been taking its time getting other stuff done, like air-flow metre switch for the computer etc.

the 11th it goes through regency, so hopefully by that weekend the struts, etc have been swapped back :)

I shall enjoy the FJ.... big step up from a pintara lol. the hard part will be trying not to kill myself in it haha

Yeah last i heard from crimmo it'd been done for a bov, cop followed all the vacuum lines until he found the bov! Bastards!!

Height of the rear wheel arch being to low??? WTF???? OR are you talking in the back of the car was to low???

It had a haltech in it as well yeah?? Did you swap the haltech back out for the standard ecu????

Your lucky its got the vg30 on it, at least its a nice progressive turbo, nothing like the standard thing, light switch on at 4k jobby bloody things, can anyone say LAG!

Tom said they measured the wheel arches. but he also said the cops had no idea, and were protesting it was an R31 and doing everything as if it were an r31 cos thats all they had on their systems. but apparently the car has gone through regency a few times at that height, so the cops must of been f**kheads.

Yeah still has the Haltech in it, but someone is working some magic on it for regency :)

You know more bout my car then me :) I had no idea bout the turbo. I only listened to 1/2 of what Tom was saying bout it...... I just wanted a DR30 and made my mind up bout buying the car before I had looked @ it the flesh haha.

Now your making me look forward to driving my car even more =D

Show them the rego sticker which quite plainley states in there that its a DR30, even on the fire wall...bloody gay police officers!! Only time i've been pulled over, (first day i owned it mind you) they tried to do me for height, but had nothing in the book on my car, did licence and rego check and was sent on my way...only to blow the alternator up not long after...bloody bloody!

What magic are they working on the haltech can i ask?

Yeah i know a little bit about it, was around crimmo a fair bit whilst he was rebuilding it and giving it some love lol!! Its a clean as car though!

That reminded me of the other defect, the old number in the firewall wasnt in there, cos it got damaged, Tom in his wisdom never got around to putting the new plates in.

I got told by my brothers mate, that the cops have nothing pre 31, so just like you said the Dr30 should only be a warning when comes to that shit :happy: Im also going to keep the papers from Regency in there also just to be safe, so they cant harass me too much.

Stuipid thing though, I heard the car has been through regency a number times at the same height and never been questioned, Tom must of ran into the wrong cop when he got defect. but atleast I got a cheap DR30 out of it :P

      When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners

      I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.

      RB25 Crankshaft Differences

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA

      But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
